This one took me a bit to get through mainly because I kept getting distracted by other books. Overall it was all that I've come to expect from a Janice Thompson book, at least the ones that have anything to do with the wedding business.

--Cute bubbly heroines
-- Big loving family with some kind of matriarchial or patriarchial member
--Sweet romance even if it is not with whom was expected

Now there's nothing wrong with this formula because it has been working for her and I have enjoyed the books I've read that followed it. However, for me, the only memorable "wedding" series I have read of hers was the Bella series. And while all these "wedding stories" are connected, it very rarely focuses on her.

Getting back to this book the one annoying thing for me was how long it took for Katie to come clean about her lack of a fiance. The reasoning for it was silly even with Madge having an input because the contest never explicitly stated that one had to be engaged in order to enter the contest. I felt that was the only big conflict since the one with Queenie's sister was introduced halfway through the story and once it was resolved the rest of the story didn't have a driving point to it. I still enjoyed it but I am also not inclined to pick up the rest in the series since I really didn't get invested into the rest of the characters. They all seemed like rehasings of others that I had met through the other stories.

Overall a quick easy read once I made myself focus on it. But unsure if I will re-read it since nothing in it really stuck out to me as being particularly memorable or re-read worthy.
